From the moment I was born to the day that I die
You can find me in the back seat hiding
From the what ifs, where I could’ve gone
Who I could’ve been and what I could’ve done
What I could’ve said will I ever see the sun again
The sun again
Cause it’s by the grace of God that I am breathing
It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing
(this is for you, oh I love you, this is for you, oh I love you)
It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing
It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing
It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing
It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing

Smashed my face diving in the water
I’ve been runnin through the storm uncovered
My shoes broke but we’re moving upwards
Mud to my knees yeah life’s unstructured
Lost my mind if you’re here we’re together
I’m not stoppin for Seattle weather
Climb a castle get to know my brother
Mud to my knees yeah life’s unstructured
I live in the city but I leave my car doors
I live in the city but I leave my car doors
I live in the city but I leave my car doors
I live in the city but I leave my car doors
I live in the city but I leave my car doors
Unlocked I would rather someone take a
Look inside and see there’s nothin that they want
They want, they want
I live in the city but I leave my car doors
I live in the city but I leave my car doors
I live in the city but I leave my car doors
I live in the city but I leave my car doors

Same Old Stories
03:42
|
|||
Writer’s block has made it’s way into my life again
I won’t lie, I’m not ganna pretend
I don’t have the words to write
I don’t have the slightest sense for story telling
Anymore, anymore
It seems the same stories again
Told before over and over again
And I don’t wanna do the same thing
No I don’t wanna be the same thing
If I spend my life tryin to be different
And then I do what they say I’ll be a hypocrite
And I’ll be livin and I’ll be livin
Tryin to come up with the stories
It seems I’m a little short
Of heroes, villains and glories
Draw a blank when he draws his sword
What comes next love to the most fair
Tryin to get a word in who even cares
Tryin to come up with the stories
Who’s life do we base life after
What’s success, does it even matter
The dragon stood tall with the strength to kill them all
The fire in his breath stoked the coals at his chest
I almost put that story in the album
The hero looses his wits and then he found them
But I’ve heard it before In every song,
in every sitcom and every movie to be honest it’s getting kind of boring so here I am
Tryin to come up with the stories
It seems I’m a little short
Of heroes, villains and glories
Draw a blank when he draws his sword
What comes next love to the most fair
Tryin to get a word in who even cares
Tryin to come up with the stories
(stories stories stories)
And this is who I am and this is what I’ve done
I’m 20 years old but I remember where I’m from
I still don’t care about the radio
catch me with Kyle playing house shows
forgotten, leaven till it’s rotten
I’ve got the feelin, got the feelin that I’m falling down
I’m falling down
I’m falling down
Tryin to come up with the stories
It seems I’m a little short
Of heroes, villains and glories
Draw a blank when he draws his sword
What comes next love to the most fair
Tryin to get a word in who even cares
Tryin to come up with the stories
(yeah the stories, I donwanna do it I donwanna do it I donwanna come up with the stories)

Hello, good morning, welcome to the world
I was brought to life with an ear full of pearls
Dream big, you can do it all
You can go to space and be a captain in the sea
I thought I had a light so I could be brighter
But it seems I’m only gettin milder
And my thoughts and my ideas didn’t have a fight either
I was kind though, I gave me a gift
A BOX
Bright and shiny on the inside
A place that I could call mine
My dreams flow as if they’re already made
Already made from the medal that surrounds me
Fills me with hope that someday I can be a success
And maybe even prosperous
And I can have a home with a spare bedroom
Sounds nice right
That’s just the box speaking
or I guess it’s me and my voice bouncing off the walls
hello, can you hear me, I am leaving
but it looks like I’m stuck
hello, can you hear me, hello , can you hear me
Hello
I’ve been here for a long time
Waiting on you to come bye
Pay a visit to your old life
Having a conversation
Featuring the go to phrases that escape
I know it all too well
I know it all too well I’ve been here before
I know it all too well I’ve been here before
I know it all too well I’ve been here before
I know it all, too, well
I’m not stuck by anything physical
It’s all psychological
Cause if I don’t make enough money nothings possible
So here I am man, I’m making moves
Here I am man, I’m making moves
Something that I can’t do is be direct when it’s hard
I don’t give honest feedback and I don’t travel far
From the surface if I don’t know you or your story
Can you meet me half-way
Can you tell me if I’m boring
I wish I took constructive criticism well
But I can’t cause I’m a sensitive guy
I’m a sensitive guy
I’m a sensitive guy
I’m a sensitive guy
I’m a sensitive
However
I’m not exclusive and I don’t respect the hierarchy
I’m a big fan of tribe mindset with some anarchy
Take a tree to a street light one God made
one I made and one you need to see
and one you need to breath
and I thought I had to choose
so now my house is a square
my house is a square
my house is a square
my house is a square
my house is a square
I’m on my way to the sea of insecurity
It’s gonna be great so if you want you can follow me

Fear Pays My Rent
02:18

All I see, is green green green
All I see, is green green green
All I see, is green green green
Green green green green green green
It’s a metaphor for money, to make things nice and clear
I stopped lookin forward to the milk and honey and just gave into my fear
What do I call this, and what do I have to look forward to anymore
Well what do I call this
Yeah what do I call this
What if my fear if discernment and wisdom given to me
What if my fear is just me thinking following my gut
What if this fear takes control and consumes me
What if this fear is only in it for the money money money
If I miss my friends is it ok to feel bad
Often times I feel bad for felling bad for feeling bad
And it keeps on stacking and stacking till I can’t help but escape
So I do (so I do) So I do (so I do) So I do yeah I do
I find myself comforted by a screen
Rocked gently till I fall asleep
Is it the noise, the light, is it the fight that I really don’t wanna fight
Cause this horse that I keep on beating just wants it’s peace
Just wants it’s peace
So I think that I’ll let it sleep
And I’ll just write another story and let this one be

What’s my depth, have I lost connection
I’ll take this silence as a confession
I’m too far gone, I’m too far gone
That’s ok brother, If you can hear me
Be on your way and be swallowed by the sea
I’m going down
Hello lost souls, tell me the story
Because I swear that I’ve seen this before
Who are you and where are going
Where’s your light can you feel anymore
It was in my head, relentlessly screaming
Digging my bed, all the while scheming
It had been so long since I had even cried
Believe me I wanted to, but it seems the river
That once gave me life had apathetically
Dried out inside, dried out inside
heart stopped dead, but I kept on breathing
No beat in my chest but my blood kept me bleeding
Its not that I mad that shame took away my feeling
Here I am, I’m done
Hello lost souls, tell me the story
Because I swear that I’ve seen this before
Who are you and where are going
Where’s your light can you feel anymore
Your eyes lack depth and your gut lacks discretion
Your empty smile says you lost your expression
Oh shame’s made it’s way to your heart
Long nights, I can’t, see past, my legs
I don’t know
Where I’m, going, but I’m, running,
Running home
Long nights, I can’t, see past, my legs
I don’t know
Where I’m, going, but I’m, running,
Running home
Hello lost souls, tell me the story
Because I swear that I’ve seen this before
Who are you and where are going
Where’s your light can you feel anymore
Your eyes lack depth and your gut lacks discretion
Your empty smile says you lost your expression
Oh shame’s made it’s way to your heart
Hello lost souls, tell me the story
Because I swear that I’ve seen this before
Who are you and where are going
Where’s your light can you feel anymore
Your eyes lack depth and your gut lacks discretion
Your empty smile says you lost your expression
Oh shame’s made it’s way to your heart

Reflection

Speaking truthfully I haven’t been the most honest with you
How hard I’ve been fighting
Is it harmful if I said I’m shameful of you
I’m afraid you’ve gone rotten
I don’t recognize you anymore
I don’t want to fight you anymore
Cause one of us always ends up hurt and it’s usually me
I don’t wanna hide
When did we start our war and why has it gone this far
Soon the cycle will go over I’ll be where you are
You let it grow, you let it grow, you let it grow
I don’t recognize you anymore
I don’t want to fight you anymore
Cause one of us always ends up hurt and it’s usually me
I don’t wanna hide
I don’t recognize you anymore
[It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing, that I am alive]
I don’t want to fight you anymore
[It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing, that I am alive]
Cause one of us always ends up hurt and it’s usually me
[It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing, that I am alive]
I don’t wanna hide
[It’s by the grace of God that I am breathing, that I am alive]

I’ve fallen asleep love turn to the deep of my slumbered heart
Occupy my open soul with your holy burning fire
I ran away when you called me by name
Still you call me
After every single hideous mistake
Still you call me
I’ll follow your twists and your turns
But what of these scars and these burns
What of this broken heart oh love
I swear I never learn
Will you be with me in the fire
Will you be with me in the storm
Will you be with me when my heart breaks
Cause my heart breaks just like
I’ve fallen asleep love turn to the deep of my slumbered heart
Occupy my open soul with your holy burning fire
I made mistakes
Hideous mistakes
But still you call e
I ran away when you called me by name
But still you call me
I’ll follow your twists and your turns
But what of these scars and these burns
What of this broken heart oh love
I swear I never learn
Will you be with me in the fire
Will you be with me in the storm
Will you be with me when my heart breaks
Cause my heart breaks just like
Oh love I don’t know where I'm going
Call out and ill run to your voice
Take this blindness make me see
Take my ignorance make me think
Oh love I don’t know where I'm going
Call out and I’ll run to your voice
Take this blindness make me see
Take my ignorance make me think
I’ll follow your twists and your turns
See you through these scars and these burns
Life is deeper than this blood and skin
You make me feel again
You’re here with me in the fire
You’re here with me in the storm
You’re here with me when my heart breaks
Cause my heart breaks just like
Yours

I have $17.23 in my bank account
And I got a quarter tank of gas
hoping this rice and beans will last
Till the week runs out
I got it good baby
I got it good baby
Yeah don’t you worry I got all I need yeah
I got it good baby
Oh yeah I’m rich baby
Yeah don’t you worry I got all I need
I’ve been heard and I’ve been seen
I believe oh I believe
I’ve been heard and I’ve been seen
I believe oh I believe
Five months seven days past the expiration date
On my Texas tabs
And I want to take my girl out hoping she’s down to stare at clouds
Till the sun goes down
I got it good baby
I got it good baby
Yeah don’t you worry I got all I need yeah
I got it good baby
Oh yeah I’m rich baby
Yeah don’t you worry I got all I need
I have my friend and family around
Never felt so loved
My mom and dad support my dreams
I got my friends and they got me
Never felt so alive
(I’ve been heard and I’ve been seen
I believe oh I believe
I’ve been heard and I’ve been seen
I believe oh I believe)
(I got it good baby

Yeah don’t you worry I got all I need yeah

Yeah don’t you worry I got all I need)
I’ve been heard and I’ve been seen

Road Trip
03:31

Got a few months of road behind me
No one place has been able to define me
And I still got an accent talkin’ to my family (talkin’ to my family)
My bearings went bad in Mississippi
Outside Arby’s lookin’ like a hippi
No shoes and a broke down car
A backpack and two guitars
My car still shakes when I hit 30
The Texas conman did me dirty
But that’s ok yeah that’s alright
I’m still kickin’ I’m still alive
We struck oil in the heart of Missoula
Red russel stop told me I need a tune up
He knows what it’s like
He’s been in the same situation twice
An hour and a bottle of kombucha later
Nobodies stressin’ about spendin’ paper
Cause thanks to Olivia
We got a free place to stay tonight
My car still shakes when I hit 30
Then Texas come and did me dirty
But that’s ok yeah that’s alright
I’m still kickin’ I’m still alive
Life is cool and I got some dope people
but I still get in my head, still get in my head
keep the music playin’ make it hard or make it simple
be modest when you tread, modest when you tread
Repead 4x
Instrumental
Life is cool and I got some dope people
but I still get in my head, still get in my head
keep the music playin’ make it hard or make it simple
be modest when you tread, modest when you tread
